About Me

I am traveling with Bianca, my girlfriend. We travel the world with our small campervan and the paragliders on the roof.

We started our current travels in November 2021 with Morocco, where we actually stayed a total of 5 months. Since April we are back on the road, heading towards east. Our route took us through Türkiye, Georgia and Armenia. Next stop: Iran. We don't know where our van will take us, but as long as there is laughter, music and other people on the way, we are in!

We are spontaneous, interested in nature and all kinds of art. None uf us is complicated or afraid of getting one's hands dirty. If there is something to do, we do it. And if we don't know how, we will learn it. We kind of need this hands-on mentality as much as being able to change plans and adapt accordingly as we never know what actually happens next.

We are both vegetarian, Bianca tries to be vegan as much as possible during travelling. But no worries if you eat meat next to us, we really don’t mind :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We like to get to know the countries we visit away from the touristic tracks. We are interested in the people, in sharing knowledge and experiences, in learning new things and developing new skills, but also discussing different points of views from different angles. We think we can learn something from everyone we meet and are more than willing to share this. Getting to know strangers means to us, that the world of the unknown is getting a little bit smaller but our horizon grows.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Building our own camper-van and traveling with it around the world :-)

Teach, Learn, Share

FILMMAKING
I am a professional filmmaker (filming and editing) and Bianca is learning it. We can share our knowledge and/or can make a video portray of your project for example. We document some experiences on our journey and maybe create a movie about it in the end.

MUSIC
We have some instruments with us: Guitar, Ukulele, Handpan (Steel drum). We are no experts but like to sing and play music.

GARDENING
On this trip we spent some time on different farms where we gathered a bit if experience.

LANGUAGES
We speak german, english, spanish and some french.
